Home hosted meal, always a high lite.

Uncategorized 1 Minute

Having dinner with a local family is always a great experience. Our family bought 12 acres in the woods about 25 years ago and built everything by themselves. They first built a log structure from trees he cut down and that was what he used as a workshop for building the house, sauna room , garage, art studio, patio, a couple of garages……. They were very resourceful and reused and repurposed lots of used materials from old houses and even brick pavers from the airport that was torn down.

This gentleman and his wife had us for dinner. They built the house from the ground up.
A brick wood stove heats the house, a small wood stove in the kitchen is used for cooking and he cuts all his own firewood that is also used to heat the sauna!
To serve dinner he put on a shirt with a tie! A think a sense of humor is required to live near the arctic circle…… 24 hours of daylight in June and no sunrise in December takes a special disposition.
Dinner started with a salad with fried fish. The grew the vegetables , except the carrots and the wife caught the fish and the husband cooked it. We also had a reindeer meatloaf that was excellent and it was covered by a mushroom gravy… of course they picked the mushrooms!
The wife is quite the artist and has a nice studio
